A Pool of Lust

Your body bleeds beauty
 Dripping grace and splendor
 Oh! how much i adore
 your seemliness,
 Enclosed in your depths...
 
Your elegance shed softly
 As weary leaves
 Escaping weeping branches,
 Scents of luring strewn fragments
 Caresses my craving,
 I have eaten from the crumbs of ardor.
